Robrina Howard
Director

My name is Robrina Howard and for over 20 years I have had a successful career working in the early education field right here in Las Vegas. Unlike other childcare providers here in the valley, Primrose Schools provide the most comprehensive and consistent approach to early childhood education I have seen. From our school’s thoughtful design, to ongoing training and implementation of Primrose’s proprietary Balanced Learning curriculum, Primrose has created a top-quality learning environment for young minds to grow and flourish. Blending purposeful play and nurturing guidance from our skilled teachers, and placing a great emphasis on character development and life skills, Primrose really stands out as the leader in early education and care.

The kind hearted community of people at Primrose School of North Las Vegas at Aliante make me feel warm, comfortable, and part of a bigger family. I am excited for my partnership with the Maria’s and for the opportunity to forge a path that leads to a brighter future for all children together with our owners, teachers, and families.

Family is very important to me – I am happily married to my high school sweetheart, Jairus Howard. We are the proud parents of three children – Makana, Tahunui, and Jairina. I work tirelessly to make the families at my school feel like part of my family as well.

As your partner, leader, coach, mentor, and extended family member my actions will demonstrate support, motivation, goal setting, success, and teamwork to everyone I encounter.

The future is bright here at Primrose School of North Las Vegas at Aliante and I am so proud to be part of it!

Education Coach
Hello! My name is Lynn Thompson. I’m a mom of four, two girls and two boys, and I’ve been married to my husband since 2015. I’m originally from Hawaii, I moved to Las Vegas in 2000 with my parents and siblings. I am a family-oriented person who loves being active – exercising, fit camps, hiking, and family BBQs at the park. I love cheerleading, and I coach cheerleaders for a rec competition program. My few hobbies are painting, dancing, crafting, and creating digital products.
I have worked in the early education industry since 2010. I started as a 2-year-old teacher and learned through mentors and courses the value of teaching in early education. I grew a passion for helping others and coaching teachers to become the best individuals to nurture and teach our future leaders (our children).
I am filled with excitement to be a part of the Primrose School Team at Aliante as your Education Coach. My role as your Ed. Coach is to empower, coach, and work hand in hand with our teachers to provide a nurturing and loving environment for your child/children.
Here at Primrose, we deliver our Balanced Learning Approach to every family at our school. Our curriculum has more to offer than the basic academic skills; art, math, science, writing, and language and literature. Our Balanced Learning Approach has integrated social, emotional, and motivational skills as well! My favorite part of our curriculum is the Primrose Friends. I can’t wait for your child/children to meet all 12 of our Primrose Friends. My favorite Primrose Friend is Harmony the duck. Harmony is a part of our Harmony & Heart music program. Your child/children will learn movement and rhythm skills with instruments and songs, and by chanting, imitating, and describing music. It’s a wonderfully fun part of what we get to do every day!
Again, I am thrilled to be apart of Primrose School Aliante and I can not wait to meet you all and be apart of your child/children’s education.

Franchise Owners

Kelly and Alan Maria

Hello! We’re the proud owners, Kelly and Alan Maria, of Primrose School of North Las Vegas at Aliante!

Our Primrose journey began in anticipation of Alan’s retirement from the U.S. Marine Corps. We were searching for opportunities that would allow us to put down roots and build a bright future for our children, while at the same time giving back to our community.  In our time in the Marine Corps, we have been fortunate to not only live in, but become part of, many communities here in the U.S. and abroad. With experience ranging from managing a private school’s business office to working in marketing, event management, and development for multiple nonprofits nationwide, I have had a diverse professional career. Alan’s career has taken our family across the globe and back again, and now we are thrilled to use our experience and passion for the community to help children foster a lifelong love of learning here in Las Vegas.

Our personal philosophies center around giving back. We have found the most joy and personal fulfillment throughout Alan’s military career while volunteering with various organizations. It is through volunteerism that we have been fortunate enough to find community in all the places we’ve lived. When we’re not volunteering in our community, we love the outdoors, camping, hiking, fishing, and discovering new and interesting things to do in our town.

We know just how much working families depend on their preschool of choice to provide a safe and nurturing environment for their children to learn and grow. We, too, have searched for the perfect place where we feel a true connection to the people we choose to trust with our child, one that also exceeds our educational goals for our most treasured gift. At Primrose, we believe who children become is as important as what they know. Our exclusive early learning approach balances purposeful play with nurturing guidance from teachers to encourage curiosity, creativity, confidence and compassion. We deliver more than a curriculum; it’s a life-changing early learning experience for children and their families. We love Primrose and we know you will, too!

We are proud to offer the Primrose experience to families in Las Vegas and can’t wait to welcome you to Primrose School at Aliante.

Our family would love to meet yours.
